.Doubt of Its Abilities to Go
into Internal Workings of
Banks Means Suspension
of Sessions.
CHAIRMAN PUJO
TELLS DIFFICULTIES
Obstacles Are Thrown in the !
Way of Committee and
Many Points Have
" Been Touched Upon
Not!
WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. il -Hearings
In the house money trust,
committee will be suspended Friday
or Saturday of next week, according
to tbe announcement tonight mad?
by Representative Pujo. chairman of j
the committee, who assigned as the i
principal reason for the suspension
the doubt cast upon the power of the
committee to inquire Into the inter
nal affairs of banking institutlous.
This action' said Representative
l'njo in a statement explaining th-'
announcement "Is due mainly to the
doubt that has been cast by the bank;
ni"on the power of the committee to
Impure" Into their Internal affairs and
especially their refusal to disclose the
names of individual borrowers of up
wardsf a million dollars, wbicn
would affect only thirteen institd
t!ons In the United States.
Information is Essential
, "
"Without this information anil In
Iho'aWsrtice of TilCTH'of ascertaining
the character of business done by th.
banks that have made huge profits In
a comparatively short time, it is j
manifestly impossible for the com-:
mittee to ascertain whether, and ;t !
so, to what extent, the banks and I
their funds have been and are bein !
used by great financial interests in
the futherance of schemes to the ex j
elusion of competing business."
In announcing the suspension of
oral hearings. Chairman Pujo points
out that there are still upwards or
forty witnesses who have not been ex
amined and that many important sub
jects have not been touched.
Needs More Power
"When this committee was appoint
ed," continued Pujo In his statement,
"it was announced that it would be
necessary to Tiave further power to
Inquire Into the bank's affairs. The
bill conferring such power has passed
the house, but is still penJing In tha
senate.
."Appeals .'to the president and the
comptroller of currency for Informa
tion which Is within the power of the
president to grant, have met with low:
delays. They have embarrassed the
work committee, but have resulted ;n
no relief.
"The committee Trill adjourn until
February 25 to consider Its report."

LONDON, End.r Jan. 17. The next
move In the long drawn out game- of
diplomacy for the settlement of the
war In eastern Europe must be made
by Turkey. The collective note of
the European powers, drawn by the
ambassadorial conference at London,
was handed today to the Turkish gov-
iernment ot Constantinople. There
seems no reason why a reply should
not be delivered promptly unless
Turkey determines to procrastinate
and hope for some unforeseen event,
to turn up that will be to her ad
vantage. Diplomats expect that Turkey will
concede something to th allies -with
tiic purpose of Indicating to the pow
cra that she will make efforts to
bring the peace delegate together
again for further negotiations. The
allies will then have an opportunity
to show whether their ultimatum to
resume hostilities unless Turkey com
plies with their demands Is as Iron
clad as thoy profess it to be.

Poincare, for the last twelve

cabinet was today elected pres
ident of the republic of France
by the National assembly, com
posed of members of fcoth
chambers of parliament, to be
tbe successor to President Ar--mand
Falleries. whose seven
year term expires February
IS
Great confusion, out of which
arose two challenges to duels,
marked the casting of the bil
lots. Premier Polncare's selec
tion to the presidency of
France, although made ty pari
tameut as required by the con
stltut'on. is regarded as repre
senting well the popular will,
of the nition. Jules Pains,
minister of agriculture, was
Polncare's nearest competitor.

Polncare's first words upon
receiving notification of his
election were, '1 shall Iry to

fort, the struggles of yesterday
and even the Injuries. Be con

OFF FOR VERSAILLES.
PARIS, Jan. 17 Early tfci morn
lng the senators, deputies and an ar
my of press representatives were off
for Versailles. where the members ot
the two classes first named, meeting
in joint session as the national as
sembly, are expected before the day
ia over to select the successor of 51.
FallicrejLas. president of Frdnce, The
iWrtrftfetrrf Whoever hef -mayl)e.-will
asat.im- office one month hence.
In France the constitution, which
in this respect represents th? recoil
from the napoleonic system of plebis
cites, does not admit citizens to an
direct vote in the election of tht
chief executive of the nation. Tho
president Is elected by the senite and
the chamber of deputies unl'ed in
convention at Versailles.
Public Manifests Interest.
It is a
noticeable fact, however,
that the general public has manifest
ed far more interest In Jthe present
election than ever beforje since the
idency seems to be unde -going-a rad
ical change. Heretofore he pres'den'
bus been looked upon a little more
than a figurehead. No' the peoplt
seem to want iomethln ; more than
a- figurehead at the Elys e. Retvntlj
the newspapers of all shades- ot
opinion have been point; tig out that,
for one thing-, tbe present state ot
European politics and thrt prospect of
the Immediate future in the Balkans
make It desirable that tht! highest of
fice in tbe state should he held by o
French statesman who M alle to
speak and act with an authority de
rived from personal emiitpnce and
from political experience.
Four Popular Candidates.
It is believed that the choice of
the general assembly will fill upon!
one of lour candidates M. iKiymonu
Poincare, the prime minister chd min
ister for foreign affairs- M. Alexan
dre Itibot, former prime minister;
M. Paul Deschanel, president o the
chamber of deputies, and M. Anto
nin Dubost, president of the seAato.
Other names mentioned include itfose
of M. Delcasse. minister o' marine;
M. Pams, minister of agriculture, and
M. Clemenceau, former prime mini,
later.
M. Polncarci M. Rlbot and M. Des
Chanel arc well known to their fel
low citizens and enjoy high rcspecc
It Is uoteu that all three are mem
bers of the Academy of France, and
as. to all appearance, they are the
three leading candidates, it is antici
pated, with some satisfaction, that the
pext president of the republic will
like Thiers and Bonaparte, be a mem
ber of the institute a position which
signifies to France and to the whole
world that he U above the leve' of

TUCSON, Jan. 17. That a peace'

Mexico Is to result from tho opening
made by Salasar through Mexican
Consul Anaya, is evident from the na
ture of the demands, some of wh -
ire given in a dispatch from Mex:.-o
City to El Noticioso, of Guaymas,
wh'ch reached Tucson, yesterday.
These demands are:
I Oeneral amnesty to all rebels.
2. The resignations of Vice Presi
dent J. M. Pino Suarez and of tho
ministers of relaciones and goberua
olon and that the persons named to
fill the vacancies will-be agreeable to

In accordance with the "Plan of S3a

Are Partly Confirmed
The dispatch, ph.ased 'n guarded
diction, continues: "These are thf
main demands made by the rebels, t
Is said, and perhaps the government
ijill grant some of them, refusing oth
ers as It may be possible to acce.it
them. It has not been officially con
firmed, but it is rumored that the de
mands given are in substance those
submitted."
The demands as given are given a
"egree of confirmation, however. y
tCI Imparcial, which is, in a way, tlw
i fficlal organ of the government. El
iv.parcial's story regarding the peace
iiruposals is practically the same as
rontained in the dispatch to El Nou-
oso.
The same source states that Emi
llano Zapata, joined Salazar and tho
others in the peace proposal, which,
leaving out Oroco. includes pract:c
ally all of the trouble makers.
Consul Anaya stated yesterday that
he had heard nothing from Mex eo
City concerning the matter.
Lascurain has fceen 'n the capital
now for four days and since nothing
his been heard regarding the rece,
lion of Ihe proposals, it is believed
that the proposal Is being considered
by the federal government, as other
wise a reply would doubtless have
been given.
Not Officially Considered
Mexican City papers emphasize tho
point that the proposal from Salazar
Is not being officially treated and that
Consnl Anaya acted merely as a go
between and not as the official rep
resentative of his government as a
negotiator pacificator.
